Actually, strangely enough that’s a relatively accurate arm. It’s partial double jointing or something or other, I’m not familiar with terminology for it, but real people do it much more often than you’d imagine. It’s funny doing life drawing and getting reference from real humans, because you find yourself drawing stuff that just looks wrong, but is accurate to your reference. That’s the job of artists really, to beautify our imperfections.

In this case, I actually like that little touch to give her that very lithe, lanky feeling that comes with people whose joints do that. It gives off a certain feeling of movement all its own. But then, that’s only if you know what you’re looking for I guess. Otherwise it just looks strange.
